A long, dry winter takes its toll on many of us, so much so that the first warm rays of spring brings the realization that we’re in

BY CAROL sub-par form O’MEARA for having Colorado State University Extension to face the neighbors this summer. Bald spots, oddly growing tufts, and weedy edges all mean one thing: it’s time to get your grass in shape.

A good lawn is the secret to being the envy of the neighborhood, having increased property value, and a happy and fulfilling life. Take advantage of the warming days by indulging in a little lawn care.

Start with the basics by making sure your irrigation system is given a tune-up. Turn the system on, then go out and watch the sprinkler. Look for broken or tilted sprayers, blockages caused by overgrown plants, or heads sheared off by mowing. Make sure the throw of water extends from head to head. As the heat hits, check your sprinklers again to make sure they’ll keep up with the demands of scorching temperatures. If they don’t, lawns respond by going dormant and turning brown.

Taller grass holds moisture longer, so set your lawnmower deck at three inches high for the summer. In general, a Kentucky bluegrass lawn needs approximately two-and-a-half inches of water each week, split into several different days of watering. Water deeply by having the sprinklers deliver half of their water for that day in one cycle, then the other half approximately an hour later.

Over-seeding in the spring can help fill in lawns that look threadbare. The trick to successful over-seeding is to core-aerate the lawn before you spread seed. The seed will

fall into the holes made by the aerator, which are ideal places for grass to germinate. When aerating, pass the machine over the area several times in differing directions – similar to making swiss cheese out of the ground.

Water the lawn lightly every day until the seed has germinated.

Grass seed is a slow germinator, so be prepared to wait fourteen to twenty days for it to sprout.

The most common mistake in over-seeding is from impatience with the germination time – many gardeners give up too soon and cut off the water just when the young sprouts first emerge.

If you have already applied pre-emergent, wait two to four months before trying to over-seed. The pre-emergent will breakdown in the sunlight during the summer months and allow for germination of new seed.

If your lawn woes aren’t cleared up with good irrigation, get a little advice from horticulturists at your local Colorado State University Extension office. Through the CSU Lawncheck program, homeowners across the Front Range can get helpful house calls for sick turf, with consultations on solving problems from weeds, disease and the dreaded brown spots.

The service is available for $75 per hour. Mileage costs may apply, depending on the distance of the site from the county

Extension office. Lab fees for any samples collected will vary, based upon the tests to be run.

In most cases, yard problems are due to how the lawn is cared for, and homeowners can cure problems themselves.

Occasionally, help is needed from a professional lawn care company.

CSU Lawncheck is not available in all counties.

Homeowners should call the Extension office in their county to make an appointment and then must be onsite to assist in the lawn assessment. Visit the CSU Lawncheck website for a listing of participating counties, or to schedule an appointment at CSULawncheck.org.

This spring, take a new approach to bulbs

By Maureen Gilmer Tribune News Service (TNS) It’s not how many tulips you have, but where you put them. It’s not the rarity of the variety, but what you plant with it. It’s not the colors you choose, but what they mean in a landscape. This spring, as you observe all the beautiful Dutch bulbs in bloom, think about their place in your garden.

Are they just bold masses that hit you right between the eyes, or are they integrated with other plants to create a magical blend of textures and colors. This blended holistic approach can give you far more beauty and fun rather than dropping them all into a single high profile bed.

The reason bulbs have always been planted in masses is simple: to compound the color visibility.

Another reason is bulb care. They are ephemeral, lasting for just a short time in spring. Then the beds are needed for late spring or summer plants. The spent bulbs must be dug out with forks and transplanted elsewhere, which is why so many die. They can be left in place to die back naturally, but that’s not appealing to look at. Moreover, when soil must be improved and cultivated it’s impossible to do so without widespread bulb damage. Oozing wounded bulbs lead to rot, pests and disease. This method is not too bad if you can hire gardeners, but for most folks, massing isn’t realistic.

Let’s drop the massing ideas

March 31-April 1, 2018

and look at the interplanted flowers method made popular by contemporary Dutch garden designers. This is more naturalistic appearance for bulbs that don’t depend on intense color blobs nor bed change-outs. It can also be worked in with permanent low growing early spring perennials such as heucheras for foliage and bleeding hearts. These are a study in color, texture and form for a new mix and match scheme every year.

Borders are the new idea for bulbs, to integrate them into the foreground of existing plants.

There is an amazing dynamic created when deciduous flowering shrubs are planted with bulbs for spring glory. Forsythia, lilacs,

even broom are being considered for these compositions. When the shrubs are coming out with big sprays, tall tulips dance around their bare legs like fireflies. When it’s time to dig the bulbs, they are out front and accessible to replace with summer annuals.

The problem we find with enjoying spring bulbs is the planting-flowering disconnect.

This is a two-step process six months apart, so don’t rely on your memory. Use your calendar to mark purchase and planting dates. Bulbs are sold in the fall.

You can buy a single color, a blend of colors or just one bulb for naturalizing such as daffodils.

Problem is it’s summer’s end and you’re exhausted. The last thing

Loveland Reporter-Herald – AtHomeColorado.com

you want to do is order more plants. It’s just counterintuitive.

Fight that feeling, because you won’t think about tulips again until early next spring, long after the planting season. Now make a note on your calendar in September to buy bulbs.

In the meantime, really study tulips this year and how they are being used in the landscape. Are they massed or holistic and thus more sustainable and affordable?

How far apart are the bulbs and what are the accent plants? Are they using fine textures with bulbs? When you find good ones, take pictures with your phone.

You can study the compositions and colors later on a big screen.

These will become your holy grail for design ideas during August bulb shopping ventures online and off.

Just as America is in transition, how we use bulbs is changing.

They are no longer a bold sign of wealth, but a valuable tool for adding zest and diversity to early spring in dry gardens. After all, so many bulbs were originally wildflowers in the Middle East, which explains their natural adaptation for summer/fall dormancy and drought. So there’s no reason why everyone can’t rediscover bulbs unless they forget to mark their calendars.

COVERPROFILE

NORTHERN COLORADO AIR, INC. Peerless in Service and Customer Loyalty

By Darren Thornberry for At Home The name and logo are as familiar as a friend. Northern Colorado Air, Inc., has been keeping Northern Colorado’s heaters and air conditioners in top shape since 1992. A familyoperated and owned business, NCA’s experience in this field stretches back 40 years. Every time a technician from NCA shakes a homeowner’s or business owner’s hand and gets to work, an unequivocal commitment to excellence is set in motion. Where other businesses are all too often blowing hot air, NCA over and over again earns the loyalty of its longstanding and new customers alike. The Better Business Bureau’s coveted A+ and Gold Star ratings don’t lie.

So what exactly does NCA do and can it really be that special?

That’s a fair question; many people go about their day without a reason to think about heating and air conditioning. NCA provides timetested, real-world-proven products 6

AT HOME

to homes and businesses. With its unrivaled service and maintenance, the air conditioning, heating, boilers, water heaters, air cleaners, indoor air quality, and humidifiers that their customers need will continue to be the last thing on their minds.

Homes and offices, new construction and remodels, all count on NCA every minute of the day, every day of the year. While the company is a Lennox premier dealer, the company services many brands and models and is available, whatever the weather, day and night, and on holidays.

General manager Jeff Richard has decades of experience and has seen big changes in the industry over the years.

For example, just 15 or 20 years ago, air conditioning was by no means standard in homes like it is today.

Technology has largely changed the game, too,

as evidenced by NCA’s own sheet metal shop and design team that work together to ensure customized parts and strict attention to every last detail.

“Every job is different, and we don’t treat our customers like they’re all the same,” says Richard.

“We’re not into mass producing anything. To be fair to our new construction or retrofit customers, our design team and install team

properly customize the job to their needs.”

Heating and air is a competitive business; that section of the phone book seems to go on for miles.

Readers will appreciate that it takes more than a big ad and a list of promises to become a trusted business in a saturated industry.

“Much of our business comes from referrals,” says Richard.

“Happy customers tell their

Great customer service starts with high-quality products like Lennox.

neighbors and friends. We take care of our reputation. We’re human. If we make a mistake, we fix it.”

This time of year, NCA’s phones are ringing off the hook for service to air conditioners. In autumn, it’s all about the furnace. Whatever the season, the frustration of having a problem with a unit is often magnified by the price of emergency service to it. There is, however, a way to ensure that your furnace, air conditioner or water heater doesn’t surprise you. That’s with NCA’s value-added Planned Maintenance Program.

Planned Maintenance is regularly scheduled maintenance (twice a year for residential, quarterly for commercial) designed to keep your equipment running as it should, prolong its life, and save you money. Perhaps the most beneficial part of the program is when a problem is found while it’s still small. It goes without saying that a boiler that’s about to blow is a different story than a boiler that’s already gone. Technicians are NATE-certified and backed by a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee.

Jeff Richard has heard the story numerous times. A company

came out to someone’s house, did preventative maintenance, and weeks later the equipment failed due to the technician not seeing the real problem before it was too late. With the Planned Maintenance Program, “preventative” is a whole different animal.

Gas pressure will be monitored, coils will be cleaned, amp draw will be checked, the compressor’s functionality will be examined, and the blower will be left free of debris. In other words, hands will get dirty. Systems will be completely evaluated for – yes – peak performance.

Employees at NCA are as loyal as the customers. The average technician stays between 10 and 14 years and many longer than that.

This isn’t normal in this industry.

Training happens regularly, which it must in order for employees to stay current on codes, regulations and technological innovations.

The payoff for the commitment to excellence? For the customer, it’s equipment humming along as it should. For the company, there have been some awards from within the industry. Lennox has awarded it “Partner of the

Custom duct work is loaded for an install. (Tim Seibert/At Home)

Year” for six consecutive years, recognizing the company’s ability to meet the highest standards.

Only a handful of dealers in the western states are given this award annually. Lennox also bestowed on NCA its rare Centurion Award for being one of the top 10 percent of dealers in the United States and Canada. Additionally, Xcel Energy has recognized NCA as a top rebate producer for its high-efficiency furnaces.

Folks who live in Northern Colorado are used to some pretty

weird weather throughout the year. No matter what’s happening outside, NCA helps keep the temperature just right in the office or home. For 26 years, they’ve been on the cutting edge of customer care and technology. That’s just their way.

DESIGN RECIPES

Try out these fun color combinations to energize your space

By Cathy Hobbs Tribune News Service (TNS) Looking for fun ways to design a space? Instead of focusing on one color, consider mixing it up and blending various colors to create fun combinations.

WHERE TO USE COLOR One of the main obstacles for many homeowners is knowing how and where to properly use color. So often, rooms can feel boring and bland until color enters the picture.

When looking for spaces of the home to incorporate interesting color combinations, first look for rooms that can be energized and invigorated. These especially include social areas such as family and living rooms. Dens can also be great choices as well, as these are often overtired, overworked spaces, when instead they can be energetic and warm.

BASIC COLORS Some basic colors are warm, bright and friendly, which can bring

life to nearly any space.

Basic colors to consider: Yellow: can be used in darker spaces and can mimic sunshine to make a space feel lighter and brighter.

Orange: one of the happiest colors. Orange will seldom disappoint and can be used in various areas of the home from dens, living spaces and even dining rooms.

White: a color many people ignore as a color. It’s a great clarification color that can be used to neutralize and blend with other colors.

INTERESTING COLOR COMBINATIONS When looking to create interesting color combinations, contrast is one of your best decorating tools. Mixing light and dark colors or warm colors with those that are cool are ideal.

Some suggested color combinations: — Charcoal gray and powder pink

An otherwise monochromatic family room is perked up by deep indigo artwork and accents. (Design Recipes)

— Hot pink and chocolate brown — Lemon yellow and burnt orange — Cool gray and indigo — White and black — Blue and red — Turquoise and orange ———

HOME IMPROVEMENT

Garage storage is the key to a better-looking garage

By HomeAdvisor HomeAdvisor (TNS) For most homeowners, the garage is the black hole of their home’s universe. Unwanted items from all other areas of the house are pulled in, stacked and forgotten — until one day you open the door, look in and realize you can’t see from one side to the other. If this sounds familiar to you, a garage storage system could transform your dark abyss into an attractive, orderly space that you might even enjoy spending time in.

Storage Should Be A MultiPronged Attack The art of storing things in your garage is first and foremost an organizational issue. The reason most garages look so bad is that there simply isn’t anywhere to put anything short of stacking it against the wall. By taking advantage of all available space 8

AT HOME

and introducing a number of efficient storage solutions, you can transform the state of your garage overnight.

Start With Cabinetry Cabinet-based garage storage systems are the most popular place to start. Cabinets serve several purposes. For starters, they have shelves — and shelves provide a home for your tools, paints, camping equipment and other belongings. Further, since everything has a place, it will be easier to keep the garage clean so long as you take the time to put things back where you found them. The other big benefit of installing cabinetry in your garage is that cabinets have doors. You’d be amazed how improved your garage looks when you’re able to hide your mess behind a thin piece of particle board, wood or stainless steel.

Look Into Overhead Garage Storage The second area that is too often overlooked when it comes to developing a garage storage system is right above you. Taking advantage of all that unused overhead garage storage space can also work wonders when it comes to organizing your black hole.

Hanging baskets, also referred to as loft storage, can be installed from one end of your garage ceiling to the other — providing tons of new storage space for coolers, luggage and outdoor gear.

Worried your garage door might get in the way? Don’t. There are even overhead garage storage systems built specifically to make use of that dead space between your garage door and the ceiling.

such as bicycles, canoes, and even truck toppers and larger boats.

Overhead hooks have long been a favorite of professional garage organizers. These pulley systems expand on that idea and make it much easier for the homeowner to raise or lower the stored object with the use of a rope and pulley.

Consider Pulley Systems For Bikes, Boats And Campers Another innovative product is a pulley system for larger items

Loveland Reporter-Herald – AtHomeColorado.com

Why Stop With Storage?

Once you’ve decided invest in garage storage, you might want to consider making a few other upgrades while you’re at it. Adding a garage floor coating to go with your new cabinets, and even installing a new garage heater, will create a space you’ll actually enjoy spending time in.

ASK ANGIE’S LIST

How can I maintain my appliances?

By Paul F. P. Pogue Angie’s List (TNS) Your appliances are some of the hardest working components of your home. Constant moving parts, hundreds of RPMs, the occasional high temperatures and thousands of gallons of water pumped over the course of a year. We run our appliances like workhorses and still expect them to work at the flip of a switch. But that wear and tear builds up over time, and we expect them to keep working right up until the moment they don’t. Never fear. With a little regular maintenance, you can fend off that dreaded “clunk” of a failed appliance and add years to its life.

HOW CAN I KEEP MY APPLIANCES WORKING LONGER? Keeping appliances clean and attending to routine maintenance can add years to their lifespan.

Regularly clean your appliances — in particular, keep the condenser coils in your refrigerator free of debris. A condenser coil brush, available at any hardware store,

works well for this purpose.

Regularly check the seal on your refrigerator door. If you can slide a piece of paper between the seal and the door when the door is closed, hire a professional to inspect the unit and replace the seal. Otherwise, your refrigerator will work much harder to keep food cold.

Regularly scrub your oven and never let food debris remain on burners. Experts advise avoiding the self-cleaning feature on ovens.

Instead, just keep it clean as you go along. It a pie spills over, using a quick dab of oven cleaner right away is better than waiting for debris to build up.

Scrape off as much food as possible into the trash before putting plates in the dishwasher.

Food debris can clog up the pumps.

Keep an eye on your dishwasher’s filter, and remove debris and hard water deposits.

Check the sprayers, screens and gaskets for particle buildup.

To prolong the life of your washer and dryer, take care not to overload your washer and clean your dryer’s lint filter after every load of laundry. (Dreamstime)

HOW CAN I MAINTAIN MY WASHER AND DRYER? Heavy loads, lots of water, thousands of revolutions at high speed — it’s hard to imagine a harder pair of workers than your washer and dryer! Don’t overload your washer — that wear and tear builds up over time. Make sure you empty your pockets before running a load; those pennies, lint and paper clog up the drain

lines. Take seriously your dryer manual’s admonition to clean the lint filter every load. Otherwise, it will have to work harder each time. And if your dryer still dries slowly, consider cleaning out the dryer vent.

SHOULD I REPAIR OR REPLACE AN APPLIANCE? The older your appliances get, the more likely it’s a good idea to replace it rather than repair it to keep it going. But don’t jump to replace your refrigerator just to get the attractive newest model.

Often the fix might just be a short

or a bad connection that can be replaced for a nominal fee. As a general rule, if the repair is more than half the cost of a new appliance, and your unit is more than six years old, go ahead and upgrade to a new model.

Looking for hard-working kitchen faucet

By Ed Del Grande Tribune News Service, (TNS)

Q

Semi-professional versions of spring-loaded faucets are available for home use. (Kohler) March 31-April 1, 2018

: Dear Ed: I’m moving into an apartment without a dishwasher. No big deal, since I like washing dishes by hand.

However, I would like to remove the present faucet and install a kitchen faucet that’s more userfriendly for washing dishes by hand. Any suggestions?

— Patty, New York A: Most restaurant kitchens include at least one commercial

grade faucet with a heavy-duty flexible hose for a spout. The hose is supported by a high arching spring-like coil. Also, at the end of the hose is a powerful spray head used for washing off the plates. These faucets are easy to operate and really speed up the process of cleaning dishes.

The good news is semiprofessional versions of springloaded faucets are available for home use. Features include a multi-function head for standard water use and spray cleaning tasks, a magnetic docking arm to lock the head in place and a booster button to increase the

water flow rate for pressure rinsing.

Bottom line: Choosing a semi-pro kitchen faucet can be a commercial success for your kitchen.

4 Tips on shopping for a mortgage lender Here are some things to look for when doing so.

Most buyers believe that all lenders offer similar products and pricing.

Although there are some similarities, SUZANNE there are PLEWES also some RE/MAX Alliance important differences. When buying a home, you may want to shop for mortgages and compare lenders.

1. Available Programs The types of programs offered by lenders can vary. For instance, local home buyer assistance programs may only be provided by certain approved lenders.

Some lenders have special inhouse programs for loans that they intend to keep (rather than sell into the secondary mortgage market). Additionally, you may want to consider a mortgage broker who works with several major lenders. Most lenders offer popular programs such as conventional, FHA, and VA financing, but other programs may be useful if you are a firsttime buyer or have unique circumstances.

2. Closing Costs & Fees Lenders offering similar loan programs can still differ in the fees that they charge to prepare and

close a loan. These are referred to as closing costs. Closing costs are normally itemized into specific categories such as origination charges, underwriting fees, flood certification, credit check, tax services, title examination, and discharge fees. Ask for a good faith estimate of closing costs to compare the charges between two different lenders.

3. Interest Rates Lenders may also quote different interest rates for the same type of loan. However, it’s important to note that interest rates should never be evaluated alone. Be sure to compare them with closing costs. Lenders often provide lower closing costs for higher interest rate loans and vice versa. By looking at the full picture, you will make a more informed decision.

4. Customer Service Most buyers don’t realize the importance of customer service

until they encounter issues with their loan before closing. Some lenders assign dedicated processors and underwriters to your loan, making it easier to communicate on pre-losing requirements. Other lenders may have a queue system where any number of support staff may interact with you. Consider the pros and cons of each approach when selecting a lender.

More on Comparing Lenders The home buying and mortgage processes can be stressful. Your lender selection can either alleviate or worsen that stress, so take the time to evaluate your options.

Keys to buying a second home

By Poonkulali Thangavelu Bankrate.com (TNS) If you’ve been thinking about buying a second home, now is a good time to take the leap. Mortgage rates are still historically low.

But there are some vital things to do before you start shopping.

Follow these steps to make buying a second home a smooth process.

–– The best way to start the search for a second home is to find a real estate agent who is familiar with your desired location.

This person could provide you information about neighborhoods, market prices and the pros and cons of particular properties.

With an eye toward the longterm value of a property, the agent could fill you in on price histories and how comparable sales have fared, and resale

prospects. Factors that tend to help properties hold or increase in value are proximity to a major metropolitan area, ease of access and the availability of year-round amenities.

Factor in additional costs.

Today’s second-home buyers are more interested in enjoying their properties rather than getting a quick return on their investment.

Still, you should consider that you will be away from the

property a lot of the time, which usually entails additional costs, such as having a management company check the place in your absence for water leaks, frozen pipes and other problems.

Getting insurance for a second home may be more challenging than it is for a primary residence.

If you are considering a second home on the beach, for example, you’ll need flood insurance, in addition to regular home insurance. It has become more difficult to get flood insurance in coastal communities, and the cost has increased greatly in some markets.

Be sure you can afford two mortgages.

You have to qualify for a second-home mortgage, which is on top of any mortgage debt on your primary home.

Typically, you will need to make a down payment of at least 10 percent, meet credit standards and debt-to-income requirements, and provide documents for income and asset verification.

If you have a good relationship

with the mortgage lender on your primary residence, that might be a good place to start your quest for a second-home mortgage.

Take into account the tax implications of your purchase.

If you use your home as a true second home, you could get a deduction for mortgage interest and property taxes, just as you do with your first-home mortgage.

Be aware that under the new federal tax law, the cap to the mortgage interest deduction will be lowered from $1 million to $750,000. So if you already have a $750,000 mortgage and get a loan for a vacation home, you won’t be able to deduct the interest on the second mortgage.

If you rent out your second home, you will have to consider additional tax ramifications, particularly if the rental period extends beyond 14 days a year.
